There is a consciousness scale that all human beings operating from. It is how they live their life and make the decisions in their life from depending from what part of the scale they are in. Here are the different level of consciousness that have been found to exist for everyone we are all on this scale somewhere. We do go on and down on this scale depending on our life experiences but some people are stuck in one or a few of the levels. I will start at the bottom to name these. shame, guilt, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, pride, courage, neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy, peace, enlightenment. A person will not change until they can see and feel the truth and they need to be at courage on this scale to be able to make these changes in their life. No shaming, blaming, bullying, attacking or forcing will make a difference unless they can see, that they need to work on this. Can see the truth of what is being said and are willing to do the work for their own life. This is why many domestic violence victims stay victims as they are not willing or able, ready to do the personal work that needs to be done to live in a different way with a new consciousness. Becoming aware of this scale and where they spend most of their life is helpful to doing better, learning and improving their own life. Knowledge and admitting their is a problem is a great first step to take. Using the information on this scale can help you to do better to know more and know what steps you can take to improve your life. This is a great tool that you can use so you are getting more improvement and knowledge all the time. Anyone in domestic violence is able to make a change using this information on this scale. We are all trying to live our lives from this consciousness scale, the decisions that you make will depend on what your beliefs, goals and thoughts about yourself your self esteem are. When you are aware of this then you are holding your own power so you can make the changes that are needed for you.
